MAGEE UNDER FIRE

THE report into clerical sex abuse in the Catholic archdiocese of Cloyne is expected to heavily criticise Bishop John Magee, in line with a previous inquiry by the Church’s own watchdog.

The report is also expected to single out Monsignor Denis O’Callaghan, who assisted Bishop Magee in the running of the diocese and whose handling of complaints angered abuse victims.

After significant delays due to legal issues, the report of the state-established commission of investigation will be finally published today at 3pm, having been signed off by Cabinet yesterday.
